Editing dashboards

If you are the owner of your Dashboard, you can edit the existing details of the Dashboard. To edit a dashboard, go to Dashboard > Dashboard Menu > Edit.

Removing dashboards

You can delete a dashboard from your account if and only if you are the owner of that Dashboard. No other user in your organization can remove the dashboard from your account. To delete a dashboard, go to Dashboard > Dashboard Menu > Remove.

Cloning dashboards

The cloning property provides you the flexibility to create a new Dashboard from an existing one. To save a dashboard, go to Dashboard > Dashboard Menu > Save As.

  • When a Client clones a dashboard and selects the current client from the Scope, the dashboard is treated as a private dashboard for that particular client.
  • When a Client performs clones a dashboard with scope as Any Client then that dashboard is available for all clients.

Setting default dashboards

Setting a specific dashboard as default can help you view the current updates of the widgets placed in that Dashboard. To set a dashboard as default, go to Dashboard > Dashboard Menu > Set As Default. The dashboard can be set with one of the following options:

  • Set as default
  • Set as system default

Sharing and unsharing dashboards

Dashboards can be:

  • Shared with any client in your organization.
  • Shared when creating a role that allows all assigned users assigned to that role to access to that dashboard.
  • Unshared to separate shared dashboards from other clients.

Sharing dashboards

To share a dashboard, go to Dashboard > Dashboard Menu > Share.

The following sharing rules apply:

  • You can share a Private dashboard.
  • A partner user can share a client dashboard with a client.
  • A client user can share the private dashboard with other users within the client.
  • When the dashboard is shared with one or more roles, any user assigned to that role can access the shared dashboards.
  • If you are the dashboard owner, you can view and edit the number of roles shared with the dashboard using the Share option.
  • A partner administrator or a client administrator can modify the details of a dashboard that a partner user or client user shares.

The dashboard URL can be shared with a specified user through e-mail by using the Share Link option.
